The Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year awards are out, in all their eight categories: Urban Model, Compact SUV, Large Car, Large SUV, 4×4 and Pick-Up, Performance and Luxury Car, Best Tech, and the Sandy Myhre Award for the most pro-woman brand. All these vehicles represent excellence in terms of safety, driving, technology, comfort, efficiency, environmental impact, value for money and gender equality.
This is the 15th edition of the awards presented by WWCOTY which consists of an organization of 82 women motoring journalists from 55 countries on five continents. It is the only all-female jury in the automotive industry worldwide. A total of 81 candidates were in the running, all launched in at least two continents or 40 countries between January and December 2024.
WWCOTY President Marta Garcia says, “The work of the juries has not been easy because this year there have been more contenders than ever before. There are new brands and models with an ever-increasing quality. No vote has been given at random. They have all been subjected to demanding test drives, detailed analysis and demanding competitor studies. That’s why the WWCOTY awards are a benchmark for millions of buyers around the world”.
These six winners now announced will go through to the final round of judging to determine the winner of WWCOTY’s top award, to be announced on the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year Youtube Channel at 00:00 (New Zealand time) on 6 March, two days before of the International Women’s Day.
Coinciding with the announcement of the best in each category, the Women’s Worldwide Car of the Year also announces the winner of two important awards: the Best Tech Award for the best technology in the automotive world and the Sandy Myhre Award for the brand most committed to women.
